Abstract: Linguistics has restricted the proper nouns to its function of designation, but literary onomastics proves on the contrary the importance of the anthroponymic meaning. Also the extraordinary dissemination of the proper nouns "Bob" and "Pudentiane" among others serves the satirical purpose of Tristan Corbière to denounce sexual hypocrisy. This study therefore proposes to analyze in Les Amours jaunes the stylistic force of proper nouns, their hypersemanticity, for caricatural purposes.
